Blessing Day


Avalyn was blessed this morning in our church. A father's blessing is one of the most precious things I've been able to witness with the kids and I'm grateful to Jared for all that he is. Here are some things Jared blessed Avalyn with:

- That she will be able to remember where she came from and who she is... a daughter of God

- That she will be able to retain her health, both physically and spiritually

- That she will be able to turn to her Heavenly Father as she goes through trials and that she will remember how much He is willing to help

- That she will be an example to her siblings and a peacemaker in our home

- That she will be able to recognize the spirit and its promptings

- That she will be willing to serve others and recognize those that need a friend

Thanks to all who assisted in the blessing: Grandpa, Pappy Jack, Ryan, Shay, Damon, & Bishop Bauer and to all those that came to celebrate with us.
